Spiking Store-Bought Eggnog

Let the grocery store do the hard work for you: they've got pretty decent eggnog. I got a quart of eggnog from the store and added some liquor. One cup or 1/2 cup, depending on how strong you want.

Sorry, kids, this is not for you....

Spiked Eggnog

1 quart of pre-made eggnog
1/3 cup Jameson
1/4 cup of brandy, I used Hennessy
(If you want to make it strong, use 3/4 cup whiskey and 1/3 cup brandy.)
Nutmeg for garnish

Combine eggnog, whiskey and brandy. Use good grade whiskey and brandy. Some people prefer rum. If you are using rum, I suggest dark spiced rum. May I suggest Appleton rum or Coruba dark rum? They have the oaky aroma that reminds you of whiskey. If your eggnog doesn't already have nutmeg in it, mix some in for more flavor.

Use something that tastes good on its own.
